Taking MICHIGAN. 31-7 -- 31-6 -- 35-7 -- 30-3 --- Those are the Wolverines scores this season. Is Nebraska better than Rutgers Bowling Green UNLV ECU. I don't know about Rutgers, but the other 3 sure. Problem is that even here at home, I can't trust Nebraska. Saw them vs 2 decent teams in Colorado and Minnesota (and you know how I feel about Colorado) and they turned the ball left and right. What will you do against this defense? I think Wolverines Defense contributes 14/17 points based on TOs and field position. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN 

4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS

Taking USC. How many times on Mid Day Money have I said this about Colorado. They Can Not Tackle. They Have No OL. They Will Get Exposed Vs Top Teams. I don't care how bac you think the Trojan defense is. It is not Colorado State or TCU bad. This offense will maul the Buffs defense. This game, like I said last week, should be a 30 point win. 4* Money Maker USC

Taking A&M. Yeah. We have some QB concerns for the Aggies, but I am still believing. We get Max Johnson who tossed 27 TD passes at LSU a couple years ago and has some A&M starts under his belt. Or we get Weigman, who beat out Johnson for starter and has looked good when on the field this year and last. I'll tell you what, not believing much in the Razorbacks. Up 14-0 on BYU (we had BYU), lose outright 38-31 at home blowing that lead and another 10pt lead later in the game. Huge last second loser at LSU. Last second FG with 5 seconds left, 34-31. I am high on A*M and think they win this one by 10. 4* Money Maker TEXAS A&M 

Taking PENN STATE. Will lay the big number here. Would be over and honestly, probably wouldn't be looking at this if Northwestern would have lost last week. But - you trail in the 4th quarter 31-10 and come back and win 37-34, yeah, give me PSU. This is Wildcats team that scored 14 vs Duke and 7 vs Rutgers. Penn State defense won't allow 10 points here. UMass on deck so no look ahead to Ohio State. Time to pummel a Big 10 team - and 61-13 vs Iowa and Illinois show us that PSU can put up some points. Backdoor cover is a slight concern. But, I think that PSU defense is going to force turnovers, get us some short fields. I think this is a 45-13 game. 4* Money Maker PENN STATE

Taking the PACKERS. Again. Yes. You know GB & TB are basically the official Mid Day Money NFL Teams this year. Short week for these rivals. Huge comeback from 17-0 for a 18-17 win for the Pack. Injury holdouts flipped that line from GB faves to dogs. Maybe saving them for this bigger division matchup? As I have said before - I like Love, the coach, the defense - everything about GB. Lions beat basically a rookie QB in a road start. Now they face a team that had basically owned them, and now the Packers can play the old revenge card the way last season ended. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking the RAMS.-- Talked about this on Look Ahead Lines Sunday.... We had Cincy Sunday (and under).. I thought Burrow still looks hurt. Didn't look good in Week 1, just as bad in Week 2... Said grab this.. Now it is 3! .. Unbelievable.. Still would take the Rams because I think Cincy absolutely stinks. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking TAMPA. I have said these guys, and probably the Packers, official Mid Day Money teams of the season. Home dog on MNF. Sign me up. Eagles 4-10 ATS last 14 as road favorites. I stole a half point in Week 1 with Philly on the road. They needed 4 TOs last week to beat Minny. Tampa is a solid bunch. Not sure why I was to grab them 10/1 to win the South. Defense is solid. Eagles haven't looked all that in sync on both sides of the ball to start the season. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY BUCS

Taking DALLAS. Arizona 9 straight losses, 6 at home. Cowboys 70-10 over Giants and Jets. If anything we saw last week vs NYG ( I had NYG), the Cards are going to be in for a long year. Dallas is a much more balanced team. Just better. Arizona has covered vs Washington and the Giants. Now another old NFC East foe is in town. I just don't see. This should be a 33-10 game. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking SEATTLE. Short week. No offensive weapons. And a tough home crowd. Seattle OL (who I bet against last week taking the Lions!) looked better with backups then their starters. Andy Dalton coming in since the rookie is banged up. Line has moved a bit. Honestly. Shouldn't matter. Seahawks 28-11 (72%) ATS last 39 at home. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

4* Total Money OVER Orioles/ Cleveland

Taking the LIONS. Falcons pulled up a miracle win last week. Detroit, even with injuries, should take care of business here. Not sold on a young QB making road starts. I like this Atlanta team, I do. Like all the young offensive guys. For me though - this is a circle the wagons type of game. Detroit season can easily start to spiral out of control. Green Bay on Thursday night. They can't over-look anyone.  4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS 

Taking the PACKERS. You know this is basically the official Mid Money Money team. Maybe Tampa on their heels. But I do like GB. Let one slip away last week in Atlanta. But not here at home. Saints off MNF (we cashed the Under). They haven't looked impressive at all on offense. Packers might get RB + WR back for this one. Love has been solid. Defense not too shabby. Might actually think about the under in this one also. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking the PATRIOTS. Probably an ugly on in North Jersey today. I will grab the short favorite though. Jets have a defense sure. But any team they play the defense gets upgraded because of the New York offense. Patriots have a solid defense. Probably deserve better than the 0-2 they are. FGs instead of TDs hurt. Edge offense Patriots. Edge coaching Patriots. Defense equal out for me here. Patriots 11-3 ATS last 14 vs Jets. Less than 10ppg for NYJ last 4 in this series.  4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Taking MIAMI. I have said multiple times on Mid Day Money how I can't bet Miami. I just worry about Tua every time the kid drops back. That being said - Denver making first road trip. A total disaster start for Sean Payton and the Broncos. From the opening on-sides kick vs the Raiders, to the defense last week giving up 35 points basically unanswered after being up 21-3. 21-3 with less than 2 minutes left in the 1st half! 13 points in 1.47 seconds! I think the Denver defense has some problems right now and facing the Dolphins isn't helpful. Broncos have lost 9 straight games after leading at halftime! wow. 2-0 on the road coming home, not laying a 7. I know it looks a little too easy to say Miami, but sign me up. Read somewhere that Denver has lost 11 straight on the road (not counting an England Win) 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking MINNESOTA. Both teams 0-2. Chargers doing it in hear-breaking fashion in both games - And, they haven't turned the ball over yet! You knew the Vikings were playing with fire coming into the season with they way things broke for them last year. And out of the gate, 0-2. Turnovers - 4 basically inside the red zone have hurt. 2 losses by 9 points. Could be 2-0. Not a fan of either coaches. But I have to go with the home team here. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking TENNESSEE. Man. Said last night on Look Ahead Lines lets grab the Titans at 4.5, but was hoping for a 5. Now I see some 3.5 out there. Uh. Browns will be coming off total slug fest Monday night vs Steelers. Short week for another physical defense. Cincy - Pitt, and on deck the Ravens. Nice sandwich spot to play the ugly dogs. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking WASHINGTON. I know Washington has not looked all that great in going 2-0. Edged past Arizona with some turn over help. Denver. What is there to say. Hats off I guess. 11 points in a minute 47 seconds and it's a game and a big road win. This line jumped out to me right out of the gate. Josh Allen. Buffalo. Just have to win by a touchdown! Washington is trash. I am not a Ron Rivera guy. Think he is a lame duck running this bunch. But, they are responding and not quitting on him. Back to Allen. You have heard me say all last year the guy misses his old coach. Fumbles. Bad INTs. I think the Bills Super Bowl window is all but closed. I think this is a FG game. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON COMMANDERS 

Taking TEXAS. Well. I said the game vs Bama was their big test. They passed. Forget the Wyoming game. They were sleeping walking off that big win. 21 points in the 4th. This team can turn it on. Now they get an in state rival like Baylor, who has won 2 of the last 4. I think Longhorns win this by 20+. Texas has Kansas at home next. They were prepping for this instead of Wyoming. Bears don't have the fire power to hang. 4* Money Maker TEXAS LONGHORNS

Taking OREGON. Not shocked this line is now 20. The summer line was 28! Look for the Ducks to hit 45-50 by themselves here. Buffs have been playing with fire in 2 of 3 games. Now you have a legit program, and you are the road without your best WR. Colorado gets torched on the ground giving up 7 yards per carry to TCU. Colorado State goes for 367 in the air. Reality time for Coach Prime. Blow Out. 5* Best Bet OREGON

Taking ALABAMA here. At this price, sign me up. I have Ole Miss +15.5 on another site. Thought this would be about 10-12. Now I think the overreaction is too much. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA

4* Total Money UNDER Duke/ Uconn

Taking TEXAS TECH. These guys. Had them in Wyoming. Blowing a 17-0 lead. What the heck? Then the Oregon game. Oh brother. 3rd times a charm though! Let's get that elusive cover. West Va off the Backyard Brawl. Big physical battle. I thought this team would be bad this year. I called them a MAC team in August. Penn State took care of them. Putting 56 on Duquesne. Come on. Red Raiders should win this by 2 TDs. 4* Money Maker TEXAS TECH

4* Money Maker FLORIDA STATE

Taking OKLAHAMA. Welcome to the Big 12 Cincy. This is where the loss of the coach and players will  be felt. When a team like the Sooners come to town. Putting up 24 points against Miami Ohio and 27 vs Pitt is a little different than facing Oklahoma. And really, Pitt? Did you see that Backyard Brawl mess. Wow. So a little glimmer off a 2-1 start. EKU 66-13. They can be on the flip side of that today. This Sooners team runs a bunch of different guys at you, so you can't zero in on a RB or WR. The kid Gabriel at QB is completing 82% of his passes! 11 TDs 1 INT. Heck - the backup QB is 11-13 with 2 TDs!! Multiple RBs producing. WRs catching balls all over the place. I don't think Cincy gets within 20. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS 

Taking TEXAS A&M. Tough spot for Auburn here. First SEC road game for their QB. 4 TDs and 3 INTs on the year. Last time we saw them on the road they pulled a miracle win out of their hat, but didn't cover (we had Cal there). Aggies have found some offense this year. 47-33-52. Time for Jimbo to get a little revenge, 13-10 Auburn last year. 4* Money Maker TEXAS A&M

Going OVER the total here. I will say I took it on the chin with the Giants on Sunday. What a mess this team is. Now - I don't want to really lay 10 points with SF, but if you want to, be my guest. The Giants defense is a hot mess right now. I think San Fran puts up a 37 spot on them here to be honest. I don't have a SF Team Total as of yet, but anything under 30, (thinking 28.5) count me in. I think the Niners defense lines us up for at least 17 points with short fields and turnovers. 4* Total Money OVER Giants / SF

Panthers don't. 20 points for the winner, don't overthink things here. 4* Total Money UNDER Saints/ Carolina -- This line has come down -- Still like the  UNDER..

Well. This is why I tell you watch Look Ahead Lines and bet early. Also have the UNDER at 44.5! 

4* Total Money UNDER Jets/ Dallas 

Taking the GIANTS. This is my favorite game of the day. I mean - I was doing Look Ahead Lines at halftime last week and was like, man- Giants getting run out on SNF. Unload next week! What a spot. I know that taking road faves is not a long term winner in the NFL. But New York lost every aspect of that game. Totally humiliated. And really, if that isn't reason enough. What edge does Arizona have here? QB? RB? defense? Coaching? Maybe Arizona weather over NY. If the Giants don't win this one by 2 TDs, I will be shocked. 10* Money Bomb NEW YORK GIANTS 

Taking SAN FRAN. Wow. Was I wrong about Purdy and SF. What a whipping. And as much as there is over-reactions to wins and losses, Niners look like the team that nearly made the Super Bowl last year. Rams go in to Seattle and steal one. Is that a real shocker though? Seattle needed OT to win to make the playoffs last year at home. They nearly lost in LA to John Wolford! So as much as LA plays Seattle tough - SF has won 8 of the last 9. And those Rams teams weren't shells of those teams. I think San Fran runs these guys out of the building. 8* Sure Shot SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking TAMPA BAY. These guys were probably my top play last week - right up there with the Browns. And I am right back on them here at home. How the heck do the Bears open as a favorite? What a joke. 11 straight losses for Chicago. Tampa, for all the hate they get - have a decent defense. It will look very good vs this outfit. Baker will bake his way to a 2-0 start to the season. TB for the South 10/1 baby! 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY 

Taking the CHIEFS. We had the under for KC last week, and this week we come back on Andy Reid's bunch. Talk about a must win in Week 2. Now - can they still lose and make the playoffs - Sure. But. The hype on the Jags (we had Colts LW) will reach Coach Prime level if they win this one. You don't want to lose a head to head vs a team that could take home field from you. Chief WRs must hold on to the ball. I am sure Mahomes, off a game like that, with extra prep, different outcome this afternoon. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

Taking the BENGALS. Easy fade of these guys in Week 1. At home though, Burrow with a game under his belt, I'll bite. Look - never liked this coach. The OL looked shaky last week. Ravens always bring the defense (we have the UNDER also here). Ravens breaking in in a new offense and it didn't look all that great last week vs the Texans. Like KC, another team staring at 0-2. This one though vs a division rival. Kitchen sink game for Cincy off a putrid performance last week. Lamar was sharp, but they lose their RB. I think this is a slugfest and Cincy pulls away for about a TD win. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS 

Taking GREEN BAY. Now, don't like us being a road fave here vs a better team than the one we were just a road dog against. Line has since flipped. Makes sense. But if you watch me on the show, you know I am high on this GB team. Atlanta isn't letting their QB throw, at least not yet. There will be steady attack of Allgeier and Robinson on the ground from the Falcons. But back to GB and Love. This kid knows this system. I trust him and this coach more than the Falcons. I've said all Summer that the Packers have a lot to prove with Rodgers gone. They should beat this team. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking BYU. Slovis! Kid was at USC, Pitt, now suiting up in Provo. Look. Razorbacks have a game vs LSU on deck. Can we all agree that last week's 28-6 was them really playing to a bad team. BYU was run out of their own building last year 52-35. This unit isn't stronger, but yet this line does seem a little light to me. Most times I am taking dogs thinking we can steal outright wins. This one is more we are coming through the backdoor. 4* Money Maker BYU 

4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS

Taking SOUTH ALABAMA. This is an experienced group. Loads of starters back on both sides of the ball, 18 total. Was nearly a Top 30 overall offense (36) and defense (25) last year. I said in one of my preview videos that I though the Cowboys would be in for a long season. Could be Gundy's farewell. 3 QBs played last week. Down 15-10 at the half before 2 different QBs tossed TD passes for a 27-15 win. And let's not get excited about 15 points. Arizona State scored 24 vs small school Southern Utah. Jags a tough little dog. 38-24 winners at CMU last year getting 6. Followed that up with a 32-31 loss at UCLA. Upset possible? 4* Money Maker SOUTH ALABAMA

Taking TOLEDO. Rockets lost opener at Illinois by 2 then lambasted Texas Southern 71-3 (50-0 at half!) San Jose comes in off a thrashing of their own, mauling Cal Poly 59-3. But their first 2 games vs PAC 12 teams, 56-28 loss at USC, 42-17 loss at Oregon State. I can see this falling somewhere along the lines of 35-20. Rockets have been known to lose games they should win. But this is the MAC favorite and last years Champs. Sparty's 2-8 ATS (2-1 this year!)  going back to last year - last road win at UNLV October 2021. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO ROCKETS

Taking the UNDER. Gave this out on Mid Day Money on Wednesday, and using it here. Not a huge Milton fan. Not the same Vols offense. 4* Total Money UNDER Vols/ Gators

4* Money Maker FLORIDA GATORS 

 Taking WASHINGTON. Pennix back in Big 10 play. Not like this guy has something to prove this afternoon. Mel Tucker out amid crazy allegations. Go read that story. Weird. Anyway - I thought Sparty would be trash this year. Crushing Richmond 45-14 and CMU 31-7 doesn't impress me. Pennix led this prolific passing offense last year, and he is right back at it again. 8 TDs, 850 yards. A nice calling card to the Heisman voters will be another 48 piece on the scoreboard with 5 TDs. Michigan State pass defense in for a long day. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON HUSKIES 

Taking RUTGERS. I will always pull for Jersey Brethren! Look. If Purdue, who I think is an absolute dumpster fire, can rush for almost 200 yards, on the road and win - well what will Rutgers do to a team, that's last 3 wins have been against Liberty by 1, Wofford and BC. Scarlet Knights rushed 52 times for 254 yards against Temple last week. And make no mistake, Rutgers defense, vastly superior to the Boilermakers. Rutgers should win this one by double digits. 5* Best Bet RUTGERS 

4* Total Money UNDER. FIU/ UConn

Taking KANSAS STATE here. I am also on the UNDER in this one. I don't know - call me crazy. Running the ball 40 times a game vs South Dakota and Mid Tenn St to win 35-10 and 23-19 is not the tune up I want before facing a Wildcats team that put 33ppg last year. They played down also in their first 2 games. 42-13 over Troy, 45-0 over SEMO. LY 40-12 with KST getting 4 INTs. Maybe that is why they run the ball. Coaching edge visitors. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE

4* Total Money UNDER Kansas State/ Missouri

4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS

4* RL Money HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking UTAH STATE. Yes - Air Force has given up 10 points in their 2 games. Robert Morris? Come on. Now, Sam Houston. You we have covered with these guys the last 2 weeks in the Mid Day Money Show. Those teams aren't familiar with this AF offense. I will tell you who is. The Aggies baby! How about a pair of 34-27 and 49-45 wins the last 2 years they have played. 2019 and 2022 AF got them 35-7 and 31-7. But those Fly Boys are not here for this one. Utah State got their 24-14 Iowa loss out of their head by pummeling Idaho State 78-28. QB better for Utah State year, and that, I think, might steal us an outright win. 4* Money Maker UTAH STATE 

4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS

4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS

Taking UTSA , again. Uh. Line has moved here and that is because our banged up QB is probably more banged up then they care to admit. We have seen UTSA play a pair of ugly games the last 2 weeks, and honestly, this will most likely be the same vs the Army rush attack. Injury to QB in college is brutal. We saw that Week 0 when we had Ohio.  I should probably be invested on the Under here. I am an early bettor, so I am already down on this one. If you haven't moved on this already, I would suggest passing. 

4* Total Money OVER Braves/ Miami

4* RL Money NEW YORK YANKEES

Going UNDER the total. So - in our 8-5 (61%) Week 1 of NFL we played on these teams. Well , in Minny's case we were all in on Tampa. And we pulled out a miracle half point cover on Philly and pushed the total. Now we get a short week. Philly defense is still good enough to hold Prime Time Cousins in check. I am not impressed with the Minny offense. Everything went right last year for them - and out of the gate, 1 score game, turnovers, they are upside down in Game 1. I think we see another performance like we saw last year between these two. Something along the lines of 23-13 seems about right. 4* Total Money UNDER Vikings/ Eagles 

Taking MEMPHIS. Not that I like laying nearly 3 scores, but even 20 wouldn't be enough for me to grab Navy. This team was a 42pt favorite last week, and was up 10-0 with 8 seconds left in the 2 quarter. We saw how Navy did against ND. Memphis isn't ND, but it sure isn't Wagner. The last 2 years the Tigers rolled 37-13 and 35-17. I think they are better this year, and Navy is worse. 4* Money Maker MEMPHIS

Taking GREEN BAY. How do you like Chicago? I think Fields is garbage. 5-20 SU in his starts. Look. I get it with Love. We haven't seen anything. We have seen GB take care of Fields when playing though. But the guy sat behind Rodgers for a couple years. He knows the system. They didn't go get anyone to battle him for the spot. They are confident. So are his teammates. They won't have to worry about being bullied for dropping a ball, or not being perfect. Rodgers sucked the life out of a room. Huge relief for this team. They wanted him gone. These guys have been waiting to show everyone they aren't the Rodger-ettes. A lot to prove. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Taking the BRONCOS. Keep this brief. I think the Raiders are an under 5 win team. I think as bad as Denver, and Wilson looked last year, it was the coaching. Now we get a HOF coach and a HOF QB who many think is done or quit. Denver to win the west! Raiders 8-2 SU last 10 vs Denver. Well - time for some payback. I do like Jimmy G, but him and Jacobs aren't enough to get past a Broncos team looking to get last years putrid taste out of their mouths. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

Taking the EAGLES. I am shocked this line has come down. I thought the public would be eating up Philly here. I know they have new Coordinators. And the defense lost some guys. But this Patriots offense is rough. Another new OC for Mac Jones. The defense is why I think this number has come down. We know The Hoodie will have something for this explosive Philly O. I just can't see New England keeping this within a touchdown though. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Taking SEATTLE. I am a Geno believer. Yeah, the OL needs a bit of work. But the WR should be able to maul the Rams. LA is a mess. This team has zero depth. If Arizona wasn't in this division, Rams would be pulling up the rear. Seattle has Detroit on the road next week. There is ZERO chance they are overlooking a division rival who nearly beat them last year with John Wolford at QB (27-23 19-16 OT)!! Rams in line for a long season. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
